A student from Washington DC, Sanai Graden, met Alonzo Douglas Hebron on the streets of the city in January. Alonzo asked Sanai for tea while she was vlogging. After helping him get medication and paying for a hotel room, a viral video of their encounter prompted people to donate over $400,000 to help Alonzo.
As their story gained press attention, Sanai raised a significant amount of money to support Alonzo. However, despite discovering his criminal record, she continued to help him. She even encouraged him to apply for identification documents so he could access resources and improve his life. Unfortunately, as they attempted to work together further, communication between them became difficult.
Alonzo reportedly avoided Sanai and lost the cell phone she bought for him. He did not apply for the documents as advised either. As a result, Sanai decided to return the funds collected from the crowdfunding campaign. The second GoFundMe page associated with the story raised $25,000 to help Sanai pay for her college expenses instead.
Sanai expressed her frustration at the situation and the limitations she faced in assisting someone who may not want the help. Despite her efforts to help Alonzo and improve his life, their relationship broke down completely due to these challenges that come with providing assistance to those in need.
In conclusion, this experience turned from positive to negative for Sanai Graden as she struggled with communication issues while trying to provide assistance to Alonzo Douglas Hebron. The outcome is an important reminder that helping those in need can be challenging but ultimately rewarding despite any setbacks or obstacles that may arise along the way.
